It's expected that either the Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars or Cleveland Browns will select the first quarterback in next month's NFL draft. That quarterback could be Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Central Florida's Blake Bortles or Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater.

Another tool NFL clubs like the Texans, Jaguars and Browns will use in their evaluations is the Wonderlic score, a measure of cognitive ability. According to the NFL Network's Albert Breer, Manziel recorded the highest Wonderlic score of the three quarterbacks projected to be early first-round picks next month.

At the combine, Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel rang up an impressive score of 32 on the Wonderlic, I'm told. Should help his cause.

Manziel's score was not the highest of any quarterback at the combine, however. According to Breer, Cornell QB Jeff Mathews scored a 40.

Among the top all-time scores by quarterbacks on the test, which is scored on a scale of 0-50, are a 48 Harvard's Ryan Fitzpatrick (now with the Houston Texans) and a 43 by former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy.
